x86_64 and checking for C compiler default output file name.

raven_sorrow · Post by **raven_sorrow** » Sun Aug 13, 2006 3:52 pm

I've got a freshly installed dedi box of gentoo (Sounds like a box of cereal) and I fubar's the CHOST (I copied mine from a i686 box and failed to change the CHOST setting to x86_64 and now I am stuck unable to compile anything. I did some snooping and found these forum pages

Each one of these listed a similar problem to mine but none of the suggestions seemed to fix my problem. THey all talked about gcc and binutils versions and this is where I beleive I stumbeled onto my problem.

Code: Select all

Marvin ~ # gcc-config -l
 [1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4 *
 [2] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4-hardened
 [3] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4-hardenednopie
 [4] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4-hardenednopiessp
 [5] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4-hardenednossp
Marvin ~ # binutils-config -l
 [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.16.1 *
Marvin ~ #

This is where I think my CHOST setting went wrong. I emerged the wrong ver of binutils thereby breaking gcc. And so I went off to troubleshoot binutils a little bit.

Code: Select all

Marvin ~ # binutils-config -c
 * /usr/bin/binutils-config: No binutils profile is active!
Marvin ~ # binutils-config -l
 [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.16.1 *
Marvin ~ # binutils-config 1
 * Switching to i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.16.1 ...                                                                                              [ ok ]Marvin ~ # source /etc/profile
Marvin ~ # binutils-config -c
 * /usr/bin/binutils-config: No binutils profile is active!
Marvin ~ # binutils-config -u
 * /usr/bin/binutils-config: No profiles exist for ''
Marvin ~ # binutils-config --amd64
/usr/bin/binutils-config: line 46: /etc/env.d/binutils/ * /usr/bin/binutils-config: No binutils profile is active!: No such file or directory
 *  * /usr/bin/binutils-config: No binutils profile is active! is invalid (no $TARGET defined) :(
Marvin ~ #

As you can see I have the wrong version of binutils and I am unable to remerge binutils or anything else for that matter.

Code: Select all

Marvin ~ # emerge php

So what I ask is this: is there a way to fix this problem w/o having to bring the system down and re-install it from scratch?

Lastly my /etc/make.conf

I don't want to give you sham hopes, but if I were you I would try to boot with a amd64 livecd (gentoo installation cd by example), chroot and re-emerge. I don't remember exactly how binutils get compiled during first installation but you could try to repeat the same process, same compilation order. I'm not sure this will work, probably after chrooting you'll still use the same broken binutils.

I just tried that while waiting for a reply and I got the same issue ... I did use the AMD64 LiveCD to install the system.

sfragis · Post by **sfragis** » Sun Aug 13, 2006 5:14 pm

This could be a very stupid idea

: copy the binutils from the livecd!
Boot with the livecd, remove everything regarding the binutils (to list all files, chroot first and then run `equery files binutils`), and then copy binutils from the the livecd.

reinstall will be faster than trying to fix this, and also create less headaches.

raven_sorrow · Post by **raven_sorrow** » Sun Aug 13, 2006 7:47 pm

this may be a redundant question ... but could I (in theory) maybe use a a prebuilt binutils for the x86_64 to fix myself?

Maybe, maybe not. Guess there is no harm in trying given the current state of your system, but don't expect miracles.
